Several were of discord over the name change to BYU-Idaho, as they were wanting it changed to BYU-Ricks. My wife was one of them protesting the name change.
She'd rather it be called BYU-Ricks or Ricks University with regular athletics participating in either NCAA Div. II or III Athletics. Looking at current enrollment BYU-Idaho could participate in NCAA Div. I-AA Athletics.

All good, except BYU-I doesn't participate in intercollegiate athletics with the NCAA or NAIA at all.
And the size of the school has little to do with whether a school participates as a D1, D2, or D3 school. It is quite unlike HS sports. It is more based on the number of sports they participate in and the number of scholarships they give out.
